AUTODESK RECAP Workstation PC
Usually, architects and engineers design a building on a computer and then bring it to life in the real world. However, with Autodesk Recap the opposite happens a real-world building is captured in exquisite detail and transformed into a 3D model that can be used to renovate, remodel, or otherwise work with an existing structure to make something new.
With the power of photogrammetry, Recap radically decreases the labor and time it takes to digitally capture a structure, but to make it all work seamlessly you need a workstation that’s up to the job. If you’re interested in running Recap here’s our primary recommendations when it comes to the right hardware.
Titan's Customizable Recap Workstations Computer:
CPU Choices for Recap
AutoDesk doesn’t have particularly high requirements for Recap Pro itself, with any old CPU that can muster 2Ghz of clock speed seemingly up to the task. However, in reality Recap Photo, which does the heavy lifting, will use as many threads as you can throw at it. The recommended requirements even suggest using multiple physical CPUs.
Luckily we now have mainstream and workstation CPUs such as the i9 and Xeon series from Intel that offer dozens of threads. It’s likely that you’ll be running CAD/CAM software on the same computer you use Recap, so the single-core performance of your CPU still matters, but overall any modern CPU with a dozen or more cores should do.
Storage Recommendations for Recap
There are no special storage needs for Recap, but you should have the fastest NVME SSD that you can afford. In fact, it’s better to have two. One for the operating system and Windows, and another to store your data. Since the photo and point cloud data used by Recap can be enormous, you’ll want to opt for larger drives. Half a terabyte for the main drive and a 2TB drive for the data disk is a good start.
GPU Recommendations for Recap
Recap doesn’t use the GPU for the main calculations of its models, that’s all GPU-bound, but you need a decent mid-range GPU to smoothly view the resulting models at a high resolution. It doesn’t have to be a workstation-grade GPU, so a 60-series or 70-series NVIDIA GeForce card should do nicely.
Capturing Beautiful Architecture With COMSOL and Titan USA
Photogrammetry is becoming an important technique in everything from architecture to VFX, and Recap makes it easy to convert photos and point cloud scans into final models for various uses.
A Titan USA workstation designed to get the most from Recap will ensure that your projects are ready on time, and that you don’t spend precious productive time waiting for things to happen when you could be designing or publishing instead.
